The release of lactic dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, and aspartate aminotransferase from initially viable, metabolically competent adult rat heart myocytes has been examined. Freshly isolated cells contain levels of total lactic dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, and aspartate aminotransferase, as well as lactic dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase isoenzyme profiles that are qu...

Background: Acute compartment syndrome is considered a debilitating complication of limb trauma. Early detection of this compartment syndrome helps us in the early initiation of treatment which will result in preventing its subsequent complications reported in these cases. Methods: This research was an analytical cross-sectional study. Patients with direct trauma to extremities, who were refer...

Acute rhabdomyolysis and elevated transaminases during streptococcal pharyngitis are rare presentations. The proposed pathophysiological mechanisms include direct bacterial invasion toxin generation. Physicians should be aware of the association between these infections above-mentioned complications to facilitate optimal treatment patients. We present case a 18-years-old gentleman with β-haemol...

A further family carrying the abnormality for malignant hyperpyrexia has been studied over four generations. The carriers with one exception have been identified by creatine phosphokinase estimations. In one branch of this family two grandchildren exhibit multiple musculoskeletal abnormalities and in addition a high creatine phosphokinase. The rest of the family was clinically normal though man...
